Ditto here. Never a fan of EV's. Took the leap to the CT a year ago. Wasn't sure how long I'd actually keep it (I get tired of cars quickly). BUT, the best vehicle I've ever purchased and so easy and pleasurable to drive. Glad I made the leap.

Yea i posted the same thing when i bought mine. Had no intention of buying a CT but after driving it with FSD no other car was even close. Now the fun part, buying all the amazing accessories- i just got in my Xpel Armor wrap for the trim and can't wait to install it this weekend.

Did you already wrap it red?! We’re trying to decide on the colour but me and wifey can’t agree on one. Opposites attract lol

Well 12 volt battery went out on my Y so at service center and took CT for a 30 minute drive. Do you ever get use to the creaking jerkiness of the rear wheels turning? Lol.

Too many toys. 👍🏼

Very nice! How many 2x6 boards did you use to load up the Spyder? If your Spyder can go up a U-Haul I know my cayman s can for sure too. I do have SPASM. I think the Spyder should be the same distance off the ground if I’m not mistaken. I could be wrong and yours could be lower than mine.
I stacked boards for the ramp, then did the same for the front. I should have stacked two but only did one. I paid for it with a rip in the front splash plate for this trick 🤦‍♂️

After watching countless viral videos of quality control issues, fingers getting smashed in the front trunk and FSD going crazy, I was reluctant. “It will never be a real truck” was playing over in my head.

Then, I drove it…my mind started wandering…

How could a truck this big have the turning radius of a Porsche?
How could a touchscreen be so Intuitive and user friendly?
How the hell did FSD just make turns, stop at stop signs and stop for pedestrians?
Wait…this bed doesn’t have wheel cutouts…it can’t be…a functional truck?


Then, my wife drove it…I was ready for her to say “no”. Instead, she said “I wanted to hate it. I’m kinda mad that I actually really love it”

A few days later, I’m a proud owner of a Cybertruck and couldn’t be happier. No vehicle is perfect, but for me this comes really damn close.

So yes, I fell for the negative publicity and criticism. I’m so glad I didn’t listen.
So many people are missing out. That is why when some one ask my about my CT I ask do you want to go for a ride and I get in the passenger seat. . ans I tell them if I tell you it won't make sense . I just hit test drive 67 Thursday .I have them sign my book and put a sticker on the side. In the process of changing the sticker lay out I making new sticker since the sticker faded.

Love that idea. The red looks clean too.
